Vespa Launches Electric Scooter at EICMA 2016

Vespa just made history by launching its first-ever electric scooter model at EICMA 2016. And, frankly, I couldn’t be more excited about a new scooter if I tried.

“The Vespa Elettrica will, first and foremost, be a true Vespa,” according to Vespa’s official PR. “(It will be) bringing the very latest in electric technology to a vehicle that will retain all the features that have been vital to its success. The style, agility, ease of use, and riding pleasure will be the same as the Vespa we have always known, with the addition of technological and innovative connectivity solutions—a perfect mix of excitement, technology and environmental friendliness that only Vespa can create. Like it has always done in its first 70 years of history.”
